A Very malicious virus is circulating the internet please read below.



READ IMMEDIATELY AND PASS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW !



Someone is sending out a very cute screensaver of the Budweiser Frogs.




If you download it, you will lose everything! Your hard drive will crash

and someone from the Internet will get your screen name and password!



DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!



It just went into circulation yesterday.



Please distribute this message. This is a new, very malicious virus and

not many people know about it. This information was announced yesterday

morning from Microsoft. Please share it with everyone that might access

the Internet.


Once again, Pass This Along To EVERYONE in your address book so that this may be stopped. AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that

there is NO remedy for it at this time.


This is VERY important. If you receive a screen saver from a friend or

anyone you may not know with the Budweiser Frogs in it, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT

OR OPEN THE FILE!

Noy sure about the validity of this, but it's not going to hurt to put it up just in case.

WORST VIRUS EVER --- CNN ANNOUNCED
PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!

A new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by
Microsoft as the most destructive ever. This virus was discovered
yesterday afternoon by McAfee . This virus simply destroys Sector Zero
from the hard disk, where vital information for its functioning are
stored.

This virus acts in the following manner:
It sends itself automatically to all contacts on your list with the
title: "A Card for You".

As soon as the supposed virtual card is opened the computer freezes so
that the user has to reboot. When the ctrl+alt+del keys or the reset
button are pressed, the virus destroys Sector Zero, thus permanently
destroying the hard disk. Yesterday in just a few hours this virus
caused panic in New York, according to news broadcast by CNN.

This alert was received by an employee of Microsoft itself.
So don't open any mails with subject: "A Virtual Card for You." As
soon as you get the mail, delete it!! Even if you know the sender !!!
